Take a look at Mechanix IMPACT gloves. The have a gell pad in the palm and the knuckle area are padded as well. The are light and pliable also. Most auto parts stores carry them so it should'nt be much of a problem to try a pair on. However there are several different models with varying degrees of padding. I used those for years and they served me well!

Jeff just spent some quality time with THIS: ...and it was brutal enough with heavy loads that Jeff used a glove. Posting the article and video this morning.

I prefer the Uncle Mike’s fingerless gloves over the PAST. Just enough padding in the palm with a bit of thicker padding on the front of the middle finger to protect it from the trigger guard. Sadly, both are discontinued. I don’t think anybody makes a comparable product today though. Jeff

I dont care for padded shooting gloves, they change my grip too much from how I grip the gun regularly moving my point of impact.
I like a pair of thin, tight, leather work gloves for anything that recoils much, mostly to keep my hands from getting blisters or bleeding from hard edges...

whitworth, that's a 3-3/4" Ruger Bisley Super Blackhawk 44 Magnum, a Lipsey's exclusive. Really neat sixgun. cddogfan1, the knife is by Arno Bernard in South Africa ( www.arnobernard.com). The hatchet was made by our cousin Duane Kent of Kent Forge in Dover, TN.

Dang! It looked like a conversion! Very nice! Might have to get one of those!

After playing with that one, I definitely will! Jeff might let me have the test gun. The YouTube video is uploading now, and I am working on posting the Gunblast article.
Another thread hijack! (or is that "Hi, 2Dogs"?)

This makes me feel a lot more secure in my manhood seeing all you guys using them. I was afraid I was going to have to surrender my man card.
The 510 GNR and the 475 to a lesser degree batter my middle finger knuckle. I have a 3.5" 45 Colt with a SBH hammer. With Buffalo Bore heavy loads the hammer gets me in the web. None of them hurt my palm too bad.

Deerskin gloves, rubbed with Pure Neatsfoot oil, Pecard's leather dressing, mink oil, or snowproof----any quality leather treatment----help to pad the hands and absorb shock. Goatskin makes excellent glove hide, as strong as or stronger than deerskin. Goat may be a bit less supple until oiled. Split elk would work. (Likewise pigskin, but much of the pigskin I see is garbage-tanned., like cardboard-leather from China.)
Cut off finger tips or leave 'em on, personal selection.
Faux fleece-lined deerskin for cold weather.
A treated deerskin glove provides more consistent traction and protection than dry leather, whatever the weather conditions.
I read Charles Askins in an earlier era, and found out that to shoot with a glove meant you had lace on your pants. Askins' science wasn't right then and it isn't right now.
I just stepped out, sniffed the 4 o'clock breeze, drew my M-29 8-3/8" .44, and punched the spaghetti pot at 200 yards. (Nosler 240 JSP. 23.3 gr/296, Fed 155, Fed brass.)
Yes, I wore gloves. David Bradshaw
